KEY FEATURES

Nestled within an exclusive gated close of just five luxury homes, this substantial property boasts a contemporary extension with bifold doors that open onto the south-facing garden.

A powered gate provides security and privacy at the entrance to the close. Inside, a private block-paved driveway offers ample parking and leads to the double garage. You’ll find steps flanked by lawns and borders that guide you to the front door, introducing you to beautifully presented and light-filled accommodation.

The open-plan kitchen, breakfast, and garden rooms create a magnificent space, perfect for entertaining and family life. The kitchen features a luxurious design with a generous L-shaped island, integrated appliances, and Quartz work surfaces. There’s plenty of space for a large dining table, and the garden room, thoughtfully added by the current owners, seamlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors. With three sets of bifold doors, a roof lantern, and underfloor heating, the garden room ensures an effortless transition between inside and outside living.

The sitting room also opens onto the garden, providing a cozy space for the colder months with its fireplace. In addition, there is a dedicated dining room for special occasions, a study, and a utility room.

The principal bedroom offers an en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. A full-height bay box window offers picturesque views of the gardens. The first-floor hosts a family bathroom and three additional bedrooms, one of which has its own en suite bathroom. A box bay window in the landing offers a comfortable spot for relaxation, with space for a reading chair.

The remaining two bedrooms are situated on the second floor and share a second family bathroom.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden features a wrap-around terrace and a spacious lawn. Mature hedging, fencing, and shrubs ensure privacy and a serene atmosphere.

Situated in the heart of the Bedfordshire village of Langford, just a short distance south of Biggleswade, this modern, well-appointed detached property is tucked away in a quiet development comprising only five homes. It was built on the site of an old mushroom farm and was extended by the current owners in 2020, adding a stunning open-plan family area and an orangery. The property also boasts a fully powered double garage with loft space, parking for up to five cars, and a low-maintenance south-facing garden to the rear, making it an extremely functional and desirable home. ‘We purchased the property ten years ago because it offered us the perfect layout and space for raising a family. However, with the children having flown the nest, there’s now a bit more space than we need,’ say the current owners. Located in the village centre and surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet just a couple of miles from central Biggleswade, living here means one can enjoy all the benefits of semi-rural life while remaining close to the action. ‘The village offers excellent amenities, including a primary school, community centre, pub, medical centre, pharmacy, and post office. For those who prefer not to drive, there is a convenient bus route into town and beyond, with buses also connecting to Bedford and Hitchin.’ For those who enjoy walking, a section of the River Ivel, part of the Kingfisher Way, leads to Biggleswade, also a popular route with dog walkers.

‘One of the best things about living here is being tucked away behind gates in a lovely private position yet close to great amenities.’

‘The house is wonderfully spacious and light with plenty of room for everyone to be together or enjoy their privacy.’

‘The large kitchen/dining/living area and orangery makes an excellent family and entertaining space – having double aspect bi fold doors means the flow from inside to out is excellent.’

‘South-facing, the garden gets all day sun however there is plenty of shade provided by well-established trees.’

‘The large garage loft area, fitted with Velux windows, has been designed with space for a staircase to be added. With the right permission this could offer extra living, or home working, space.’

‘All the neighbours are friendly and helpful with everyone happy to sign for parcels or bring in bins when you’re on holiday.’

‘Being in the heart of the village means everything is within walking distan ce.’*
